she smells so good I cant wait to chop her down. thinking about chopping her on monday, the 13th so I can have a little smoke of her on 4/20 possibly. seeing amber trichomes on the cola leaves and they are starting to turn amber elsewhere too. only will gain maturity when she drying

The plant of course is much more smaller with the restricted root zone causing a bonsai effect. However, she performed really well under the circumstances with a relatively large yield all things considered. I usually smoke high CBD but was very impressed with this high. Let's see how it goes after spending more time under the influence. Review... Growing in the solo cup sized container proved to be much more challenging than a regular grow. The plant soon became stressed dealing with the tiny root zone making everything hyper sensitive. The first issue was showing as tip burn even though the ppm was kept in the 650-850 range. Then the leaves showed a general yellowing overall specially showing at the bottom fan leaves. At this point I was changing the nutrient solution every 2-3 days trying different nutrient brands and concentrations seemingly without much success. It was a nerve wracking period which ultimately lead me back to General Hydroponics with amendments. I did learn that the plant can weather the storm even with less than perfect vegetative leaves while she focuses all her energies into calyx production. It’s was upsetting to see less than stellar health but eventually all the leaves drop and the flowers power on seemingly without issue. The cascading diamond structure developed as a result of a couple broken branches that occurred during the training process in an effort broaden the plant profile with wider lateral spacing. Although initially upset when the fractured branches that withered after being bandaged up and . After removal of said branches it was exciting to see the new possibilities. The cascade formation called for additional side lighting to maintain uniform bud size all the way down the front lower end of the plant. I was looking to create a stadium like effect. The experience of operating the visual hydroponic unit called for a number of practical adjustments along the way. Although initially, very excited with the system concept as an integrated design with nutrient solution supply and gravity drain through the pump, with the air supply inside the pipe with the air bubbler acting as the drain/root filter... in hindsight, obviously, it would not work as the root mass became denser and denser. The first issue, as the path of least resistance, the air was forced back down the nutrient supply pipe. This prevented the pump from priming itself and subsequently no nutrient solution delivery was even possible. As a result, the original air stone was left in place to prevent the roots from entering the nutrient tank and a new bubbler stone simply added to the tank itself. Although the original idea was for the air to be continuously pumping directly through the roots, the flood and drain would actually be just as good when drawing the fresh air in and out with each pump/drain of nutrient solution. The ON cycle was initially set to 10 seconds which eventually became 30 seconds as the roots mass grew denser. This proved to be too unreliable as the fill level was no longer consistent which required constant monitoring to be sure that there was no flooding over and above the container lid. It which case, a simple feeder tube to the top of the root zone was the best option. The ON cycle was set to 5 seconds with a 15 minute OFF interval. Overall the biggest concern was the timer itself, which had several bad reviews for malfunctions with growers losing their plants. However, I have no choice as this was one of the few timers that was capable of cycling down to the second but it all workout fine in that regard… no problem. Was it a perfect grow?... no, definitely not. However, as a relative beginner, it was definitely a great learning experience. Mostly, I need to work on the nutrient blend and concentration. For more control, a backup tank with float valve delivery to maintain the water level for this particular system would be a good idea as well.

Getting big let's see how they do in the strech here soon

Harvest day 74. 10g dried after 4 days. Little plant and little yeald. Didn't respond well to topping, problems with over feeding in late flowering. Also began to foxtail in last week, probably due to 40°C at daytime. Will update the smoke test curing.

Been super busy with life and haven’t kept a good journal halfway in i apologize. But here’s some sexy pics for y’all I had to pull one of these plants bc it hermed out at the bottom ab 5weeks into flowering bc of a light issue (really dumb but like I said life has been hectic as of late) they’re all smelling and looking really dope and very promising!!

Hallo zusammen 🤙. Sie wächst sehr schön und macht keine Umstände.

Hi everyone 😁 Welcome to my second diary. Strain of choice 🍌💜👊 Auto from Fast Buds 420. Normally I would use paper towel method but this time decided to try germination in propagator directly to substrate. 100% success. First girl showed in about 48h after planting and second maybe 12h after. 07/10 Seeds planted. Propagator at 22 degrees and 90% humidity. 09/10 Day 1 Girls popped through the soil. 13/10 Day 5 Xena and Athena comfortably transported to new 5 star spa resort and they do like new 14l queen beds 15/10 Day 7 End of germination week. Girls are growing very fast. Have a very good feeling about these 2 Stay tunned for daily updates. Have a great week coming everyone. Peace and love brothers and sisters 🍌💜👊

Thats the first 2 weeks done!

Woche 3 Das Fundament wird gelegt und Umtopfen steht an. Der Regenbogen ist in der dritten Woche seines Lebens. Die ersten Seitentriebie bilden sich und die Pflanze ist gesund gewachsen mitlerweile hat sie 3 Nodien. Und ist über ihren Cube hinausgewachsen und hat diesen kräftig durchwurzelt. Somit wird jetzt in den 3l Stofftopf umgepflanzt. Danach gibt es zum ersten Mal die standart Düngedosis, angepasst an das Pflanzenbild 2,5 -5ml Hesi TNT für ordentlich Nährstoffe im Wachstum, 5 ml/l Hesi Root für eine kräftige Wurzelentwicklung und 2 ml/l Calmag, um unser Osmosewasser aufzuhärten. Der DLI wurde auf im Laufe der Woche auf 40 erhöht. * Zustand der Pflanze: Die ersten "echten" Blätter sind vollständig entwickelt und wie durch die EasyCubes zeigt sich wie eine kräftige Wurzelbildung. * Wichtige Ereignisse: Beginn der Nährstoffgabe. Anhebung des DLI. Umtopfen in 3L Stofftopf * Düngung & Messwerte: * Gießwasser: pH ca. 6,0. Leitwert ca.1,4 - 2 S. * Drain: Wir messen sporadisch, um die Abweichung von +/- 500 S einzuhalten. * Anpassungen: Wir sind überrascht wie gut sich die Pflannze im Easys Plug System entwickelt hat.

The SN pheno is something else!

У Халка все в порядке, поливаю каждый день, опрыскиваю мегафолом русским, вообщем норм вроде. Скоро для корней штука придёт, тоже должно понравиться. Буду добавлять фото в течение недели. Такой формат привлекательнее как по мне. 14.09.21 9 дней, рост начался, корешки заполняют стакан. К концу неделю пересажу в мешок 10л. 15.09.21. 10 дней, реакция на вчерашнюю подкормку рутфармом вместе с основным кормом хорошая, переживал из за ррм раствора=900. Но все нормально. Халк кушает и не давится. Но наглеть не надо, все в меру. 17.09.21 халк реально толстая малышка. Обратите внимание на фото, при росте 5-7см ствол толстый мама мия. Завтра буду пересаживать в мешок 10л, всем спасибо, до встречи 🙏✌️

That girl is taking forever,but she is packed with trichomes,sticky enough that you need gloves everytime you need to touch it.smelly and fat buds everywhere.very much worth the wait but still long. Starting the flush now.and I think I LL do that for another week by the trichome development.

Day 1 beginning of wk 3 flower fed the girls up this morning 4.5 ltr phostrogen to all but bubblegum #1 she gets fed 10ltrs of bud burst they are starting to smell so good 3 strains iv never grown before or even smoked lol exciting stuff 5-6 more weeks to go

6th week of flowering. The smell starts to be pretty strong..Small closett with Ac Infinity S6 and still smells😅

Both girls have been topped to slow them down. I personally prefer to LST but given the no space situation they got a hair cut. Very bushy structure they are itching to switch tent. Another week or so I’d say before I transplant in their final pot. It’ll be either a 3 or 5 gal pot but I must consider the feeding plan with a strain that is said to finish 6-7 weeks. Considering the shorter flowering I’m tempted to stay in a smaller pot to ensure she has time to eat up the premixed amendments. Try and get some better pics next week ✌️

6/5 Starting week 5 The girls are drinking more quickly. So today I watered and fed using TPS1 Circle has just passed Gaia in height. From Friday 6/2 she grew 6 inches from 22 to 28 she got 3 liters Gaia grew from 24 to 26" she got 4 liters 6/7 Circe is growing like a weed (heehee) and quickly passed Gaia. Circe is 31" Gaia 27". Gaia mother is the stereo type mom large hips and flowing tresses while Circe is the willow-of-the-wisp free spirit so true for a healer. Today I flushed all the plants with 1 gallon of filtered water to remove any buildup of nutrients. Hopefully, since I've cut way back on fertilizer, they are getting what they need. The other two Cream Caramel and Gelato 41 are short and remain on the crates to keep them within 30 inches from the light. At 6/9 they are 11 inches. 6/9 water and feeding day. Circe and Gaia both drink 4 liters of water each feeding. Circe grew 3 more inches She is now 34.5. Gaia has stopped growing at 27.5 inches, Gelato 41 is 12 inches (lst) and Cream Caramel 13. These are AFRO girls. Short, Squat and Very bushy. So many leaves, I may have to trim out some large fans to give light to the bud sites. I put mirrors under their canopies to increase light penetration. My mom and dad met and married in post WWII Japan and spent several years there. Mom taught the children of the officers and diplomats but she was also a life-long learner. Her interest were cultural, religious spiritual, music and art. She studied Sumee, Japanese painting, ikebana, flower arranging, and cooking. Some of her Sumee art shown is in week 2. Here in week 5 I've included some flower arranging pictures known in Japan as Ikebana. @DreamIt, the tree is for you From the beginning of my life, my parents encouraged exploring the world around me. I tried different religions and over the years learned, that while there are many religions, they basically say the same thing. I choose spiritually and oneness with nature rather than the structured sermons of the church services I attended in my youth. Education was emphasized since my mom was a teacher and my dad an officer. My early education was in private schools since I tested above the grade level in public school. My education was fundamental reading, writing, arithmetic. science and art until I went to college. My Dad had the greatest influence on my interests in science and math. In college I studied psychology & biology and wanted to be a doctor. While I was very smart, I really didn't want to continue 12 more years of school for a medical degree. I switched my major of study to business and focused on accounting. More soon. I hope you are enjoying Alphonse Mucha's art nouveau representation of my goddesses. His art nouveau is the epitome of feminine grace and beauty. I found a doll at a thrift shop. If you are following this diary, you will remember the Alphons Mucha Goddess and picture of my Grandmother in week 1. The doll I found looks like both. So coincidental. 😄 Thanks for visiting my Goddesses and friends. We appreciate the 🌱 love 😘. Hope you had a great week and took time to have fun 👍

Désolé mais pendant plusieurs jour je n arrivé plus à charger mon journal ? Bref dernière arrosage avec nutriments ;) on y arrive tous doucement . Autrement j ai eu un petit départ de bud rot sur la melon gum (rien de méchant 2 calices coincé entre 3 immense têtes ;) j ai donc enlever les 2 têtes et désinfecté aux mieux (les 2 têtes n avez rien j ai donc pu les goûter hier soir et j doit dire l effet est vraiment sympa ;)

Second week of flower has started They really grew after a heavy feeding Had to move my lights way up . LEDs tooo bright ..leaves were slightly curling

Small plant still waiting for it to catch up
